This runner is a fine example of the classic Khan Mohammadi red and navy patterns with the addition of some dusky orange highlights. Khan Mohammad rugs were originally made in Northern Afghanistan before the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, Perhaps 3 million Afghans to fled to Pakistan, and with the refugees came a flood of rugs. Many Afghans now prefer the relative safety of the border areas of north-western Pakistan to their homes in Afghanistan and continue to produce quality rugs, carpets and runners.
